{"product_id":"research-in-educational-settings","title":"Research in Educational Settings","description":"With a frank and discursive style, the authors address both the problems of access and the problems of researcher control. The result is a readable but realistic guide to the strategies required for valid investigations in educational settings. . . . The book is practical and useable. It gives a case study at the start, provides exercises after each chapter and is clearly written.  --School Psychology International  To date little material has been written about the pitfalls of conducting research in schools--until now. Research in Educational Settings helps prospective educational researchers plan their research more carefully in K-12 schools. This welcome addition to the research field focuses on the following issues: access and credibility in the school; traditional issues of designing research; questions that emerge as the design is imposed on the school culture and setting, particularly in regards to school staff and student assessment; the length of interventions and whether or not to schedule follow-up studies; and, how to interpret and communicate findings to schools and policymakers. Using personal experiences from their field research to illustrate key concepts, the authors also include a research project to clarify the practical issues of school research.  Professionals and students of research methods, evaluation, education, psychology, and sociology will readily welcome this much awaited volume.","brand":"SAGE Publications Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246817038680,"sku":"9780803942080","price":105.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780803942080_8f7631c8-0333-44f3-9760-9d72855a0283.jpg?v=1777786269","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/research-in-educational-settings","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
